About Schäfer GmbH Anlagentechnik
Schäfer GmbH Anlagentechnik, based in Westerheim, plans and installs technical building automation in larger properties such as schools, day-care centers, office buildings, production buildings, hotels and hospitals. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are thereby controlled and regulated in such a way that energy consumption is reduced to the necessary minimum. A key focus lies in energy consumption optimization through the end-to-end integration of all energy consumers of a property, both in new construction and in renovation projects, complemented by energy management with recording and analysis of electricity consumption. Another area is the full automation of industrial distillation systems in distillery technology, from the heating-up function through fraction separation to dephlegmator cooling. The value chain includes HVAC control system planning with GAEB interface, circuit diagram creation in EPLAN P8, in-house control cabinet manufacturing, DDC programming including supervisory level, as well as commissioning, remote monitoring and maintenance. The company is a certified SAIA PCD system integrator and an ICONAG B-CON system partner.
